The competing views
What the available sources tell us about the request and the decision being challenged:
Rainbow seeks to change the ruling that made it responsible for disputed trades. DC Transco's brief describes Rainbow as arguing that those trades were outside the contract's approval requirements; Rainbow's full brief was not reviewed here.
DC Transco says the contract gave it the right to approve the trades and protected it from paying for unapproved ones. It says Rainbow could not charge those losses to DC Transco or withhold money owed to it.
Based on the court’s case description and the filings identified below. Where a side’s detailed argument is unavailable, we explain the earlier ruling and say what is missing. Allegations are not findings of fact.
